1. Remote vehicle start.

2. OnStar.

3. Third row seats, which are somewhere in the Lubbock County dump.

4. Heated seats feature.

5. Cooled seats feature.

6. Roof rack.

7. E85 fuel.

8. Memory Seat, Mirrors, and Pedals feature.

I'm thinking there are others, but it's about time for me to go to bed. I probably need to look at the owner's manual to see what else I had to pay for that was a waste of my money. :think:

Then why not purchase a less equipped vehicle? :shrug:

Almost exactly how mine gets used too! Except for the roof rack. It's actually been used once but will be coming off soon. I love the memory seats due to both the wife and I driving it. It really helps a ton and I wish we had cooled seats in the summer time!!

Ive never had any use for heated seats, my wife and daughter act like they can't live with out them, cooled seats on the other hand would be the bomb. I only have LT2 trim on my Z71, so items 4, 5, & 8 weren't included.

1. I use it all the time.
2. Got me through Hurricane Irene.
3. Came in handy during a trip to Pittsburgh last October.
4. Don't have that feature.
5. Don't have that feature.
6. Great for home improvement projects that require items larger than the interior space you have available.
7. Haven't used it, and don't feel like driving 20 miles just to get it.
8. Don't have these features.

For ever ones I don't have, if I did have them I would probably find a use for them.

I can see going with out ONstar and roof rack, E85 i have never used, but have heard its good to run a tank throuh every now and then to clean things up? True or Not?? You really should try all these options out that you paid for, especially the cooled seats. Its pretty much still winter time here in the NW and i think i have used those more than the heated seats. They work perfect when the wife is cold and Im hot.

The 2 things I have not even used one time would probably be the running boards especially not that it is lowered now(might consider taken them off) I am 6'6" the wife is 5' 10" so we got long legs.

Also the 4LO, I feel it is pretty much useless for me. I feel 90% of tahoe owners have probably never used it.

1. Use it almost every time before I get in...it's good to let the oil circulate for a few mins before you haul ass, and down here in Texas it's nice to get in a nice cool vehicle in the summer
2. Never used
3. Got 4 kids so the 3rd row is a must
4. Unfortunately don't have
5. See #4
6. Haven't used yet, and may take off or get an esky rack
7. Hell no...
8. Don't have these, but my wife never drives my truck

1. Remote vehicle start. Use it all the time.

2. OnStar. Never used it but currently getting the service for free from my insurance company.

3. Third row seats. Use them every so often.

4. Heated seats feature. Use them a lot during the winter (Iowa nuff said).

5. Cooled seats feature. I wish I had them :(

6. Roof rack. Needs to be gone.

7. E85 fuel. Every so often but usually if it is quite a bit cheaper.

8. Memory Seat, Mirrors, and Pedals feature. Seats no, mirrors sometimes, I have had females use the power pedals.

the glass on the rear hatch

the CD case slots in the center console (who has CDs anymore??)

the tie down hooks in cargo area (weathertech liner covers them... wish there was a solution to use them with the weathertech liner)

the "back only" option for the heated seats... who was like, these heated seats are nice, but I would prefer to just have my back heated :shrug

the hinged doors on my cupholder area and storage tray...
